McDonough, Georgia , a southern suburb of Atlanta. The station is owned byHenry County Radio Co Inc. and originates from studios located on Brownlee Road in Jackson, Georgia. The station was originally WZAL and was assigned to 1540 kHz and was owned byDallas Tarkenton (older brother ofFran Tarkenton ), broadcasting until it was purchased byDeVan-Moore Communication, Inc. in 1980. The station saw successful growth in the hands ofJim DeVan (former manager ofWMCD ,Statesboro, Georgia ) and moved to 1410 kHz in the late 1980's. Jim DeVan managed WZAL until his sudden death from a work-related accident in 1991. The station was sold to a former Tarkenton associate (Earnhart) who changed the call letters and moved the station.
